How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2024-22188, inspect your project dependencies for Typo3/cms core:

inspect dependencies for typo3/cms-core

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Typo3/cms core in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 8.7.57), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-94: Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. In Typo3/cms core, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Problem Several settings in the Install Tool for configuring the path to system binaries were vulnerable to code execution. Exploiting this vulnerability requires an administrator-level backend user account with system maintainer permissions. The corresponding change for this advisory involves enforcing the known disadvantages described in [TYPO3-PSA-2020-002: Protecting Install Tool with Sudo Mode](https://typo3.org/security/advisory/typo3-psa-2020-002). ### Solution Update to TYPO3 versions 8.7.57 ELTS, 9.5.46 ELTS, 10.4.43 ELTS, 11.5.35 LTS, 12.4.11 LTS, 13.0.1 that fix the problem described. ### Credits Thanks to Rickmer Frier & Daniel Jonka who reported this issue and to TYPO3 core & security team member Benjamin Franzke who fixed the issue. ### References * [TYPO3-CORE-SA-2024-002](https://typo3.org/security/advisory/typo3-core-sa-2024-002)
